DELOITTE IMPACT DAY FRIDAY

Global management consultants Deloitte and Touche will visit Cricket Canada's office on Friday as part of their global impact day.

IMPACT Day is Deloitte's annual celebration of commitment to community involvement when they encourage all employees across the country to set aside their work for the day to contribute their time and talent to benefit local nonprofits. Approximately one third of the volunteer projects are “skills-based,” so nonprofits benefit from Deloitte people’s business knowledge and experience.

In April 2012, Deloitte undertook a 4 month review and refresh of Cricket Canada's strategic plan. The findings as well as the work done included the most wide ranging and comprehensive study of cricket in Canada that has ever been produced. The work was done as part of Deloitte's pro-bono work program and served as a sizeable sponsorship to Cricket Canada
